obscure essay topics needed...

[EveWasFramed]

I need some help. I need suggestions for obscure, BORING essay topics. I need things that are G-rated. Nothing X-rated or nasty.
These topics will be for an alternative form of discipline for a (almost) 14 year old, so it needs to be something VERY boring...something that she would NOT want to have to write about again.

I'll start...

1. Ferns
2. The history of the broom

 

[L0nely]

3. Spiral Notebooks
4. Mechanical Pencils
5. Mirrors
6. Tape Measures
7. Cardboard
8. Clothes Pins

1) the history of the chair
2) clogs and their origin
3) brusslesprouts
4) the science of sound. (not so much boring as it is dry. dry as the desert on a hot day. at least taking a class about it was.)
